The coffee industry creates many trends, which means that the popularity among consumers is constantly increasing, and the market is growing. Coffee is the
. There is a wide variety of coffee-based beverages on offer, and the options are constantly being expanded.
In 2025, the
coffee market in the United States generated a revenue of around 90 billion U.S. dollars, of which roasted coffee formed the largest share. That year, the revenue of roasted coffee amounted to almost 77 billion U.S. dollars. The
average American spent over 208 U.S. dollars on roasted coffee. In comparison, instant coffee achieved only an average revenue of roughly 36 U.S. dollars per person. Regarding the
number of hot beverages generally consumed, a 2025 survey found that most respondents consumed an average of two hot drinks per day. In fact, nearly 38 percent said so.
The favorites of American coffee drinkers
Not only is coffee the largest segment of the hot drinks market, but surveys also confirm that it is by far the
most popular hot beverage in the United States, followed by tea and hot chocolate. Specialty coffee beverages (including ready-to-drink coffees) are the
most popular type of coffee and were consumed by more respondents in the past day in 2025 than traditional coffee, which came in second. Specialty coffee doesn't refer to a specific type of beverage but rather to high-quality coffee drinks (espresso, cappuccino, etc.) prepared with the finest beans by trained baristas. The decisive factor is always the exceptional quality of the beans used.
What method do consumers use to prepare coffee?
At the beginning of 2025, American coffee drinkers were asked how the coffee/coffee beverage they consumed yesterday was prepared. The most common
method of coffee preparation was drip coffee maker, mentioned by 36 percent. Single-cup brewers and ready-to-drink coffee (in a bottle or can) came in second and third place, with 22 and 21 percent, respectively. Although drip coffee preparation was the preferred method, the
share of drip coffee makers has been declining since 2012. In fact, that year, 25 percent more of those surveyed used this method. Drip coffee is the most commonly used method in 2025 because it is convenient, affordable, and part of everyday life in the U.S. The decline can be explained by the enormous variety of new preparation methods, changing taste preferences, and lifestyle developments—yet the base of drip coffee drinkers remains very large and stable in the giant U.S. coffee market.
